It’s Coming…

October is just around the corner, and with it comes my latest endeavor, Spook Series 2013!

Premiere Particulars: Criminal Minds

And so begins the ninth season of CBS’s Criminal Minds. Did this veteran show kick off with a bang or a whimper? Here are the particulars.

Premiere Particulars: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Last night I watched the premiere episode of ABC’s highly anticipated Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Does it live up to the hype? Well, here are some of the particulars.

Supernatural: two bros against the world

More Grown-Up Fantasy TV! This time I’m putting the CW’s Supernatural under the microscope. Fair warning: I haven’t watched this show the way I’ve watched my other shows. As much as I’d love to, I simply don’t have time to settle in and watch all eight seasons in a row. However, I catch it on TV quite a lot

Premiere Particulars: Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Just watched another Fox premiere! Here are the particulars of the first episode of cop comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Premiere Particulars: Sleepy Hollow

I’ve decided to begin a new blog series! I’m calling this batch “Premiere Particulars.” Whenever I happen to catch a premiere of a new or returning TV show, I’ll do a concise review of the episode—basically just highlighting what I liked and didn’t like, then wrapping things up with a brief summary and a grade. So, without further ado

The Liebster Award!

I’m thrilled to announce that my blog has been nominated for the Liebster Award! For those who aren’t familiar with blog awards, (because I sure wasn’t), basically things like this are to share a little something about yourself, then highlight other blogs that you think are the bee’s knees. Many thanks to Drakulus

Insidious: Chapter 2: less is definitely more

It may not be the best horror film out there, but I really enjoy the first Insidious. In fact, it’s probably one of my favorite horrors of the last few years. There’s a wonderful old-school vibe to it, the family is likeable, the ghouls are creepy, and there’s a nice surprise at the end—all things that make it a fun ride. So when I heard that Chapter 2 was on its way

Grimm: once upon a time there lived a Portland homicide detective…

Time to venture once again into Grown-Up Fantasy TV! Finally—a show available on basic cable! I realized my last three Grown-Up Fantasy shows (Carnivàle, True Blood, and Game of Thrones) are all from HBO. I promise that’s not the only network I watch. Grimm hails from NBC, and though it’s still best for grown-ups

You’re Next: a fox, a tiger, and a lamb break into a house…everybody dies

The subtitle needs a better punchline, doesn’t it? Too bad I’ve never been very good at jokes. Although it’s not supposed to be funny. Well…it’s kind of supposed to be funny. You’re Next is something of a dark comedy, so it’s only appropriate to handle this review with some levity. And although not everybody dies, fair warning: a lot of freaking people die.
